    Thanks for the kind words Ed. I May not always execute everything perfectly but I try to do the best I can with what I have and to the best of my abilities.
    You are partially to blame for that...

    Thanks Chuck. Looks like SP127 it is.

      Yeah,,you would be seriously pi$$ed if you shot the jugs with that Nu Cast stuff. Want the nice silvery aluminum look you definitely want the Universal Aluminum ( SP-127 ).

        I have a half a pint of PPG global D9700 basecoat coming from one of my favorite body shops.

        Gratis... I guess all those years fixing their equipment has paid off.

        Just might give painting the tins a whorl this weekend.

          Oh boy! Can't wait for the photos! What clear are you using Dale? You going to clear over the black and then lay the graphics down on top of that, or are the graphics going down on the base coat?

            If you're going to be looking at the finished product, I wish to claim the right to the '5 foot' rule right now.

            In order as I have it in my head at the moment.

            Filler
            DPLF epoxy primer
            NCP250 sandable primer
            DPLF applied as a sealer (sealer required for black basecoat over sanded primers)
            D9700
            PPG shopline JC661 clear applied as a midcoat (depends on dust conditions)
            Decals
            JC661

            From basecoats and primers to toners, sealers and clearcoats; our comprehensive range of systems covers every stage of the journey for equipment manufacturers, custom coaters and the vehicle aftermarket, while offering the variation and choice to support individual business requirements.


            The clear stages will all depend on the amount of dust in my temporary booth setup.
            I might see if I can borrow a real paint booth for the final clear if dust is going to be anything other than a minor issue.

              Dale,
              I don't get on this site as often as I used too. And to my surprise you have been very busy on your GS1000 project.
              I'm sure that when you finish it will be something to marvel at. After all that work, I'd be scared to even touch it, never mind ride it. I mean you might get
              a little dirt on it.
              I thought I'd send you this maybe as a little inspiration as to what we could all be looking at when you finish yours.
              A photo of my beloved '78 Skunk. It had less than 500 miles on it when this photo was taken. It is totally bone stock. Not even the first oil change yet.
              It turned out to be a great bike, of all that I had, my absolute favorite. It was indeed bulletproof as I showed no mercy in my riding it.
              I hope that a few of some of the parts I sent you end up on yours.

                Steve, my GS1000EC consists of mainly parts from other bikes-including some that you sent me.

                  Compared to the original factory painting process:

                  Whisper-thin basecoat
                  Decals
                  Whisper-thin clearcoat

                      The new respirator came in today. The tank is sanded ready for filler in the morning.

                      My wife said I had issues. I told her no dear, issues would have been if I used 3000 grit instead of 1500 after removing the dents and making the cup round again.

                          Dale, between watching this and the work you've done for Flyboy, I can see you're wonderfully meticulous. I love it.

                            Didn't get any painting done today. We had to get number three son's car and possessions off to the room he's renting for college.

                            Did get a chance to re-configure the paint 'boot' this afternoon.

                            Added in a door and a spot for an exhaust filter. I'm all tuckered out working in the 90° heat we had today.










                            It should make for a bit less dust infiltration than the blue plastic I had hanging over the door opening.

                              I'm liking this 'boot' even more now that it's sealed up properly. I didn't see any dirt in the primer. Might have a stab at doing the final clear right here at the house.

                                Even if it should get just a spec or two of dust in the final clear, it will be gone when you polish it out ...wouldnt it????
